We spent all afternoon at the house today meeting with a contractor, electrician, plumber, etc. It's hard to coordinate meetings like this when you are still in escrow and there are two real estate agents and a homeowner that need to be involved in the coordination. Fortunately everyone showed up and we made a lot of progress.
We spent most of the afternoon talking about the changes and soliciting bids for everything we intend to do to the house. We are going to replace the interior doors with 5-panel doors as pictured above. Of course the moulding around the doors also has to be replaced and enhanced. We spent quite a bit of time talking about door knobs and what type won't rust considering our location at the beach. Rubbed oil (huh?) or stainless or ?? After we got home I discovered a whole box of glass antique knobs that I had saved from the remodel of our South Pasadena home. I am hoping glass knobs can survive the salt air better than most. I absolutely love these knobs and they are going to be in the beach house!
The linens pictured above are from Pottery Barn and will look great in either of the king bedded rooms. They can go in the master or guest bedroom, I think I will decide when my package arrives and I can see them up close. There are so many sales right now. A lot of the bedding on the Pottery Barn website is cheaper than the options listed on ebay. Too funny!
I also made my first ever purchase on Carig's List yesterday. But I need to take a photo of my "absolute steal" before I will post about it tomorow.
